states trump: At issue is whether Mexico will step up efforts to stop the flow of undocumented migrants crossing its southern border into the United States, according to Global Times China. Trump has expressed frustration over growing inflow of illegal immigrants. If tariffs take effect, that could impact both economies and drive a wedge between Washington and its third largest trading partner, experts said. Last month saw a decade-long high in apprehensions of illegal migrants, with 133,000 detained at the border. Illegal immigration will be one of Trump's major platforms in the 2020 elections, and the president believes Mexico has done very little to mitigate the situation. Mexico is also used as a route of entry to the United States by violent criminal gangs from El Salvador, such as the infamous MS-13, while many of Trump's supporters also believe that illegal immigration drives down working class wages and increases competition for blue collar jobs.
